Too Jetta? Pshaw.

alternateorg on April 5, 2002

This guy just installed Linux over Windows. And everything he likes about Linux is in MacOS X. And everything he hates about Windows is not in MacOS X. So why didn’t he switch to MacOS X? He says it’s too ‘Jetta.’ Fuck that noise. Get a fucking clue, guy. His gripes:


I don’t miss the sluggishness. I don’t miss the crashes. I don’t miss restarting my computer every time I install anything. I don’t miss Plug N’ Pray. I don’t miss having to rip out Outlook and IE 15 times before they stay gone. I don’t miss talking paperclips.

With Linux, I don’t like the strangeness. I don’t like the lack of commercial-quality games. I don’t like the fact that my scanner doesn’t work. I don’t like the permissions system (next rebuild, all Root, all the time).

OSX is what he’s looking for but won’t admit it. Buy the better hardware and install the better software and shut the fuck up. It’s a Unix you can fucking use without the file permissions getting in the way. And your printers will work. And there’s games. Why can’t some people just swallow their pride and admit that OSX is everything they’ve ever dreamed about?

Because then Steve would win and we can’t have that, can we? In 5 years, MacOS X will be everywhere. Mark my words.

    Next computer I get is a mac. OSX rox. The new imac is not expected to fullfil the expected demand this year of six million units (If I recal corectly). I tell everyone looking for a new computer to get a new mac.
